Also the local garage say I need to be careful when buying lowered suspension. They said my car might have come new with lowered suspension on and if I stick lowering suspension on the tyres will rub ? Is this correct ?

30-40mm drop on a Coupe will be fine. It's 60mm and higher drops that can lead to problems.

I tend to keep my cars standard so can't recommend any one brand over another.

Hey Mikes2.
You said , I tend to keep my cars standard so can't recommend any one brand over another.
What springs have you found so you can keep the same ride height ?

I fitted genuine front and rear springs to my 90q 20v sport when I overhauled the suspension. 5 years ago for the front and 4 years for the rear. car was on 265k miles in 2012 so the originals had a decent innings.

Fronts were air con versions as standard were not available. They've settled fine and you'd be really hard pushed to see the difference.
